Eat the Cake: Why Grace Is Better Than You Think

In this first-ever guest episode of Anchored in Christ, Doug Hannah and Pastor Curt Hoover sit down with Pastor Hans Fiene...creator of Lutheran Satire and pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Crestwood, Missouri.

Together, they discuss:

• The origins and impact of Lutheran Satire

• Why so many people are exhausted by American Christianity

• The beautiful difference of receiving God’s gifts rather than performing for God

• Worship that gives Christ, not just inspiration

• And how eating cake can be the best possible metaphor for the Lord’s Supper

They also tackle what it’s like growing up Lutheran in a non-Lutheran world, how hymnody shapes our faith, and why the Divine Service isn’t supposed to feel like going to the movies.

As Pastor Fiene puts it:

“If you want the confidence of knowing you belong in the presence of Jesus… eat the cake.”
